My naturopath put me also on L-Glutamine on an empty stomach, but it is also supposed to help with joint pain so I am unsure as to why your body is reacting that way. Maybe the dosage is to high for you? Excess L-Glutamin does cause amonia buildup in the blood but usually not until excess of 5 grams.

I have been taking L-Glutamine for GERD, slow gastric emptying and it has certainly improved my condition to the point where I can eat and digest nearly as normally as when I was an adolescent and could eat and usually did eat practically everything. Although now I am much more careful as to what I eat, how and when.
I lift weights quite regularly and could see some interesting positive effects of glutamine supplementation on my recovery and sustained muscle belly volume also.

Once the intestine is damaged by inflammation or toxins, the door is open for bacteria, viruses and fungi — which are normally excluded — to enter the bloodstream.
This can lead to a number of symptoms, including headaches, fatigue, aching joints, confusion and difficulty thinking, as well as various skin disorders.
You should know that several laboratories test for leaky gut syndrome.
A test substance (usually a combination of mannitol and lactulose) is taken by mouth.

Mannitol is the control, since it normally passes the healthy intestinal barrier. But lactulose is generally blocked.

All her bleeding and bathroom trips have stopped, thank God, and she is taking only natural things along with l glutamine. But.....her sed rate or esr is elevated to around 30. Before all this 4 years ago her only symtom of something wrong was her joints hurt all over and continue to but no doctor has the answer. I want her 13 year old body to stop all the aching. Also it got a little better when I put her on fish oil.

In June I started using the Wii for some light exercise and to get the blood flowing in the muscles and joints. It was painful at first and I was out of breath but I started feeling better from moving. I eventually moved up to using a treadmill a few times a week with the Wii, then up to a slow jog.
In September I was able to stop my pain medications and just take supplements for immune support with the doxy.

I'm still perplexed as to why my fingers are still sore and the joints, she said all the protein may have caused a pseudo reaction.. Thus the dark urine in the mornings, which is what made me stop the Powder dose in the first plac, in conjunction with the Joint pain, I had pain in hands, wrists, and feet. My Knees weren't bothered... Still drinking lots of water and my morning Urine seems to be more normal in color.... I was starting to worry that I may have injured my Kidneys..

three weeks into my climbing workouts I began to get extreme pains in what feels like my joints, and bones from my chest down to the tips of my fingers. It would hurt so bad and pound almost like a bad headach. I have stopped climbing now for a weeks in hopes I would go back and be fine, but have noticed that even simple things like lifting something heavy will make them a little sore again. I am so athletic and it has been killing me not being able to climb...

But by the end of day two, I'd start feeling achy and run down, and days three-seven plain ole....sucked! I took Glutamine powder and Lortab, but I still had pain after every treatment. When I had Neulasta shots, my doc wouldn't let me go without Tylenol...and I never experienced too much pain with it. I can't really say if it was the Tylenol, or just the fact that they weren't hurting me like they do some other folks.

doesn't seem like much of a big deal, but is actually very painful. Depending on how much physical work I try to do, my joints can be in actual pain. Today and yesterday, I have had intermittent pain and tingling (the feeling of having fingers falling asleep, so to speak) in both arms from the fingers, wrists, elbows and shoulders, almost seeming to be random throughout the day. Yesterday, most of the pain had been in the right arm.

Now it seems that I have a food allergy as well. My joints hurt when I eat gluten, cellulose, and hydrogenated oils(my intestines swell up and feel inflammed and like they are going to fall out of my body. I just want to sleep and can't even think about running for about a week. I feel terribly nauseous and can only get myself to eat smoothies). So staying on a strict diet is hard but helps me a million!

It sounds as if my bones are very brittle or my joints aren't lubricated enough or something, though I'm pretty sure I get a healthy amount of fat a day. At the top of my head, I can only think of two possible reasons that may have been the gradual cause of this, assuming this isn't normal:
1) When I was around 11-12 years old, I took these "milk" pills that were chewable that were supposedly help me to grow taller. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say the name of the brand here.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a type of inflammatory arthritis that attacks the synovial membranes surrounding the lubricating fluid in the joints. The cartilage and tissues, the area around joints, and the bone surfaces are also affected. Rheumatoid arthritis creates stiffness, swelling, fatigue, fever and pain.

The bed didn't make a difference, and my symptoms were getting worse. After a year, I start to notice different symptoms including soar joints, especially in my shoulders and hips. During this time I had been visit my chiropractor periodically and he suggested that I should buy some orthotics suggesting that this could be the cause of the pain throughout my body if it wasn't aligned correctly. So I ended up buying them hoping that this would fix my problems however as I suspected it didn't.

Even if you don't think you need them, take them anyway. I waited too long after my first infusion, and my joints hurt so badly, I couldn't walk for two days.
My doctor recommended I mix some Glutamine powder into into orange juice or some other liquid (it has no taste). I took 10g 4 times a day for the first week after each treatment. It is an amino acid found naturally in your muscles that helps your body by aiding recovery of muscle cells (i.e. chemo-related soreness).

L-tyrosine, Sam-e (don't take with 5HTP)
L-glutamine, B- vitamin Complex (or multi vitamin with it included) Vitamin c-1000mg)
You should be able to get them all at walmart, or another store that sells herbal remedies and vitamins.

It essentially crippled me, my joints just ached and I couldn't be comfotable. I couldn't handle stairs etc. But atleast I could sleep again (with enough pain killers to deal with the joints). I worked from home this week. I just had to be careful with pain meds to ensure I wasn't too spaced out.
The last week I was more physically tired (which just got worse each cycle) but I was able to work back at the office.

My doc suggested getting some Glutamine, which comes in powder or pill form. I got the powder so I could mix it up in a drink. His suggestion was 10 g two times/day. It is a protein/amino acid supplement primarily used by body builders so their muscles don't get as sore. I kept a supply of Lortab on hand to help fight soreness, too. But just remember, don't wait until you start hurting to treat the pain. Stay ahead of it, and it is much more managable.

meaning that any food you eat, absorption of the vital nutrients are impaired. This, of course, affects the body negatively. Aches and pains, sore joints, chronic fatigue, sleeplessness, high anxiety/low depression are signs & symptoms of the deficiencies. Methadone effects brain neurotransmitter function and production. It causes havoc in the pituatary gland (produces adrenalin) which causes one to suffer chronic fatigue.

She did feel weak from the carbo/taxol and noticed it in her legs and joints. After chemo she would take a powder supplement for joint pain (something like Glutamine (spelling?)) She takes vitamins B1 and B6 to help with symptoms of neuropathy. They will probably tell your mom to drink tons of water, as Carbo goes through your kidneys and its important to stay hydrated.
My mom is back on Carboplatinum now and it is helping her the second time around too!

1 - Glutamine powder (to heal the gut wall) - 18g per day (3x6g) for a month, and then 12g per day (2x6g). I am starting this today. Do these amounts seem reasonable? How long should I go on taking it for? When should I reduce further?
